Aside from running, what other workouts do you do?

I bounce around a bit. but some of the staples for me are kettlebells and HIIT. I have also done P90X, Insanity the asylum, and I just ordered P90X3. I have also done the gym rat stuff, but I hate waiting to use equipment so I don't do that any more.

Anyway I am always looking for new and horrible ways to push myself so let hear it?

I'm a gym rat in my own basement. It's amazing what you can do with some basic weights, a simple pulley stack machine and a basic bench and a mat. I have access to a state of the art fitness center, with all the latest equipment, but I get a better workout at home.

My garage is my gym. I used 1 inch steel plumbers pipe to bills a pull up bar and it is bolted to the ceiling. Then It is just dumbbells/kettle bells, a yoga mat and creativity. It works for me.

I won't receive the P90X3 until next week sometime. I will let you know how it goes. The last time I used P90X it went pretty well. I got some decent gains. That is mostly gone now, well I don't look as big as I did when I got done. That was a few years ago. I didn't run then so I have leaned out a lot since.

I love chopping wood. Even if I had a fireplace there isn't really a purpose to use one when it is 70-80 degrees all winter. I used to live in WA state and I got to chop it all the time. Such a good work out and so much fun.

Pilates. And I am currently researching kettlebells to see if it's something I might want to get in to. My former brother-in-law was an Army Ranger and he swore by "the bells." I'm afraid it might make me too bulky, though.

I love kettle bells. Stay light and you should be fine. You are going to gain some muscle it is just the nature of the bells. But you will be amazed at the core and leg strength you develop.
